Yeah I find myself saying that nearly every time I walk past it in the garage! Life doesn't get much better for an enthusiast who gets to drive one of these.
Nothing short of superhuman these boys. What % of the grid do you think is riding broken and bruised from offs at previous practice/qualifying/races? And competing at this level. Pretty wild.
And Alex walks away with what, a fractured collarbone and minor damage to a vertebrae? From that carnage?
Airbags, folks. Airbags. Don't ride without them.
I remember maneuvring my 88 Civic DX around parking lots back in the day, and that thing had pizza cutters for front tires (and rears for that matter). I can't imagine what it'd be like to muscle around a pair of 305's unassisted.
To me, a pure analog car can perform its basic functions...
$92.80 @ $6.01 /gallon at a Costco(!) near me in Glenview, IL. Did I still burn half a gallon flooring it out of the parking lot afterwards? Yes, yes I did.
I used to get the "drive mode not available" error once in a while but not since I swapped the battery.
I'll need to get it on a lift one of these days. The way the suspension feels during heave is a lot like when I picked up my new-to-me S2000 back in the day and found out that the previous...
Thanks for the data points. Over the past few weeks as the weather has gotten better here I've found myself really focusing on this issue more and more, so lots of low speed and highway speed stuff over the same roads, with a few spots in particular. Seat-of-the-pants observations show no...
Man I really need to ride in another R to see if I'm just old and crotchety, or if there's something up with my Magnerides. There is zero discernable difference to me between the normal and sport settings although the dash will indicate I'm switching modes. But I'm fairly certain I've read on...
Got mad at it. Love everything about it except this lousy infotainment system. Even after the latest Sync updates, it still auto turns on the radio and defaults to AM radio if I start the car and don't play anything through any sources. Every. Damn. Time.
Also wouldn't let me turn off...
CF wheels and PS4S's went back on. I missed that traction. Sitting in the dealership now for an oil change and staring at a Dark Horse on the showroom floor. TBH it's a good looking car in my eyes, but the best angle is the side profile and worst is the nose/front 3/4, which makes sense...
I love how everyone ends up packing UHauls the same. Its like perfect Tetris at the nose and middle, but once you get to the tail end you're like "ahh shit this random box of junk" or "this is really fragile or will get banged around, better leave it for last" and it all ends up in this...
Wow what a season so far. Aprilia absolutely killing it with riders and reliability! I'm rooting so hard for Mir (Honda Fanboy) and Ogura (because he's such a class act) to get some podiums this year but it finally feels like there's a real fight for championship.
Hey, is there someone else with a Shadow Black R in/around the Chicago NW suburbs? I'm pretty sure I just passed one on Palatine Road in Wheeling, I was headed east on my Panigale and the R headed west followed by another bike.
NGL I hurried my ass back to the garage to make sure mine was...
Gave him the day off to break in new rubber for his stablemate.
Even in the 50ish temps we're getting around Chicagoland today, the OE Supercorsa's were hockey pucks. Went with Rosso IV's (non-Corsa) because I'm a huge poser.
